+=head1 LIBC NSS
+
+GNU Libc uses the Name Service Switch (NSS) to configure the behavior of the C
+library for the local environment, and to configure how it reads system data,
+such as passwords and group information. BusyBox has made it Policy that it
+will never use NSS, and will never use and libc calls that make use of NSS.
+This allows you to run an embedded system without the need for installing an
+/etc/nsswitch.conf file and without and /lib/libnss_* libraries installed.
+
+If you are using a system that is using a remote LDAP server for authentication
+via GNU libc NSS, and you want to use BusyBox, then you will need to adjust the
+BusyBox source. Chances are though, that if you have enough space to install
+of that stuff on your system, then you probably want the full GNU utilities.
